It is 10 days since I took this photo of the bananas
and today they look like this
I am trying not to count my chickens before they hatch or, in this case, my bananas before they ripen but they are looking good. Still a long way to go .
The second plant is just coming into bud as well.
That reminds me; I've got some bananas to eat which are rather too ripe. Not locally grown of course!
ReplyDeleteI have just made two batches of blueberry and banana muffins as I had some that were getting quite ripe. I use a lot making smoothies.
DeleteYou're gonna get good crops off them, I have clients that have them in their gardens and they always get lots of fruit.
ReplyDeleteYes, we used to get some good sized bunches when we lived in the North.
DeleteWe have passionfruit, last year I counted a grand total of 13 !!! This year, before a lot of green ones fell, maybe an overloaded vine or two, there were more than 126!! They have ripened, a gentle shake of the vine and anything ready will fall to the lawn. Joyous delights as they are 39.99 in the supermarket.You will be looking each day to check if they are still there and ripening as they should, The glorious north.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good haul of passionfruit. I see it is 75 - 80 days from banana flower to harvesting so a way to go yet.
DeleteGosh, that's marvellous bounty. I hope they all ripen and soon you'll be describing their taste
ReplyDeleteA good couple of months yet. Just hope they survive. Lots can happen in the meantim.
DeleteThat was a good investment planting those!!
ReplyDeleteAnd a beautifully sculptural addition to the garden
Yes, and they make a good privacy shield.
DeleteI hope that you do get to eat some - it must have been an exciting project both to do and to watch.
ReplyDeleteI am checking the new bud every day.
DeleteLooks like you'll have heaps of yummy bananas in the near future!
ReplyDeleteA good couple of months to ripen and we are heading towards winter. Unfortunately there is a lot that can ruin them in particular strong wind and vermin.
DeleteIf I can write well like you, I will be very happy, but where is my luck, in fact people like you are an example to the world. You have written this comment very beautifully, I am very glad that I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Gurugram Girl Number
